SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,355, dated May 28, 1889.

Application filed January 30, 1889. Serial No. 298,115. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERTHA J AOOB, of New York city, New York, have invented an lmproved VVindow-Ohair, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a window-chair that maybe folded together when not in use.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved windowchair. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof, and Fig. 3 an end view showing it folded.

The letter (t represents the seat of a windowchair. to which is hinged the back I).

c c are the upper and lower sections of the arm-rest pivoted to one another and to the back and seat, respectively.

To the seat 66 as well as to the back I) there are secured the lower ends of chains (Z, connected on top to a ring, 6. To this ring there is also connected a chain, f, terminating in a hook, f. In use the chair is placed with its front edge against a window-frame, A. The seat a is connected to this frame by means of and securely locked in place.

a snap-hook, g, and a staple, 9'. Each of the two chains, f, is passed through an eye, h, on the side of the window-frame, and then the hooks f are made to engage one of the chainlinks. Thus the window-chair maybe quickly When in place, it can be used with safety by persons who wish to wash the window, as they will be prevented from falling down.

- Then the chair has been removed from the window, it may 'be compactly folded together, as in Fig. 3.

That I claim is- The combination of a seat with a pivoted back, sectional arm-rests pivoted to the seat and the back, chains d, secured to seat and back and secured at their upper end to ring 6, chains f, secured to said ring and carrying hooks f, and with the snap-hook g secured to the seat, the hook g and chains f being adapted to engage staples secured to the window-frame, substantially as specified.

BERTHA JACOB.
